COLES GARDEN ANNUAL. 



The 'Tlanet Single Wheel Hoe. 



This Wheel Hoe Is considerably lighter than the Double, 

 but does a.lmost the same variety of work, being used mostly 

 between the rows, yet it can be used to hoe both sides at once 

 while plants are small, by placing the wheel at one side of the 

 frame. The form of the hoes insures a forward, slanting cut 

 next to the plant, and consequent close work without danger 

 and thorough cultivation of the soil. The rakes and cultiva- 

 tor teeth and the hoes and plow enable the operator to per- 

 form almost every variety of work, either in the field or 

 garden. All rows from 6 to 18 inches apart can be hoed at one 

 passage. Price $4.50. 



To supply a demand for a cheap 

 i!$ing;ie Wheel Hoe, we otfer the 

 above machine, with the hoes only, at 

 82.75. and the other attachments can 

 be added at any time and will be found 

 to fit.

Tlie "Planet Jr." No. 8 Horse Hoe. 



For 1898 we offer Important improvements in our 



described below : 

 The Frame 



No. 8 "Planet Jr." Horse Hoe and Cultivator, 



is longer than usual and about IV2 Inches 

 higher, making a tool that will not clog easily. 



The Standards are framed up hollow with round throats 

 of stiff steel; they polish quickly and free themselves readily 

 from obstructions, and they clasp the frame and strengthen it. 



The Depth is under perfect control, by means of a new 

 lever wheel, and the new patented depth regulator, which are 

 moved instantly in unison by a single lever, making exact work, 

 steadying the machine and relieving the operator. 



The Expander— This is an entirely new pattern, superior to 

 all other forms; exceedingly strong, simple, 

 accurate and positive in all positions. 



Handles and Braces— These are ab- 

 solutely new and the most effective and 

 stiffest combination known, at once making 

 the tool rigid, yet allowing every adjustment 

 of handles in height and sidewise. 



Every part is perfected to make the tool 

 acceptable to the intelligent farmer; he 

 knows the best is always the cheapest. 



Price ^7.75, 



The "Planet Jr." No. 6 Horse Hoe. 



This tool has the same standards and teeth as 

 the No. 8, but it does not have the improved depth 

 regulator and the expander and braces of the No. 8. 

 yet it is strong and serviceable and will give full 

 satisfaction. Has an excellent expander and handles 

 adjustable, both perpendicularly and sidewise.

 off the outside teeth; It expands In width to 32
